You know what you should try, drawing a plain outline of a figure drawing or whateva and come back to it only every few months or something to add on bits and pieces! i did that once it kinda turned out like this in terms of being awesome and have excessive detail and tattoo/face/body paint lol. You find that certain parts will look different and that you'll have learnt techniques that might really have seemed trivial at the time.

well that's something I do with my drawings, not my vectors. ^^ I have pieces from years back that I didn't find to work for me then, and after coming back, they can be reworked for now. I don't like waiting too long on a vector piece because I'm always busy, and it's rare now for me to have time for personal things. When I get the chance I like to know that I've completed my work...it gives me a reassuring feeling. I think it would drive me nuts to know I hadn't finished something in vector lol. If you look in my gallery you can actually see the point at which each piece starts to get more complex leading up to my recent. If you compare my very first posting to now, I'm sure you'll be surprised. ^^
